I got this message yesterday and thought they somehow figured out that I was using a reVanced copy of Sync for Reddit to look at stuff. Though I haven't really used it very often since moving mostly to Lemmygrad and HB. So not even doing commenting or even up-voting anti-Israel stuff. Started seeing it when I had to launch some links to my browser outside the app, but then started getting errors about subs being private (even though my account I am signed into on Sync is subbed to them) before just all subs just stopped loading.
At first I thought they finally started changing enough stuff to kill off the old access used by the apps (even if they have been reVanced) and accounts using them, but that wouldn't explain the browser issue since I opened it in Firefox Focus and not signed into the account on there. So I tried turning on my VPN and had completely closed out of the app and browser and shit just started working like nothing happened. However I went back today and had forgotten to turn on the VPN and didn't get issues.
So I am wondering if they accidentally updated something and caused a mass temp IP ban? As the "User Agent" normally (from what I have seen and might be wrong) just something that a browser will set to let a site/server know what browser it is. Maybe the ad-blocking elements of the third-party app and maybe the tracking blocking on Firefox Focus triggered an anti-adblocking tactic being tested? Idk.
